are you sure this is correct
Answered by GPT-4o mini
The kinetic energy of an object is primarily influenced by its mass and speed. The formula for kinetic energy (KE) is given by:

\[ KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \]

where \( m \) is the mass of the object and \( v \) is its speed.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

C. Mass and speed

Yes, I am sure. The formula for kinetic energy clearly shows that it depends on mass and the square of the velocity (speed) of an object. To summarize:

- Kinetic energy increases with greater mass (larger \( m \)).
- Kinetic energy increases with increased speed (as \( v \) is squared in the formula).

Thus, factors that impact the kinetic energy of an object are indeed **mass and speed**, making option **C** the correct choice. If you have any further questions or need clarification, feel free to ask!
